WEBVTT 00:00.420 --> 00:06.200 For many people, the streaming service Netflix has long been a part of everyday life. 00:06.200 --> 00:12.273 With over 300 million subscribers worldwide in more than 190 countries, Netflix is one of 00:12.273 --> 00:16.700 the largest classic streaming services of all. 00:16.700 --> 00:23.520 One click and we dive into stories, series, and films from all over the world. 00:23.520 --> 00:30.496 But while we’re wondering what we want to watch, another, much more important question arises: 00:30.496 --> 00:34.893 Who actually decides what we get to see? 00:34.893 --> 00:40.360 And with that question, I welcome you to Kla.TV. A warm welcome! 00:40.360 --> 00:43.360 Who or what is Netflix? 00:43.360 --> 00:50.967 What began in 1997 with the founding of Netflix and launched in 1998 as an online DVD rental service has grown 00:50.967 --> 00:55.520 into one of the world’s largest entertainment companies 00:55.520 --> 01:02.550 In 2025 alone, Netflix generated revenue of more than 45 billion US dollars. 01:02.550 --> 01:08.372 Today, Netflix produces and distributes films and series worldwide, utilizing data, 01:08.372 --> 01:12.928 algorithms, and increasingly artificial intelligence. 01:12.928 --> 01:17.994 Netflix analyzes what we watch, search for, or stop watching, and uses this data to provide 01:17.994 --> 01:21.952 recommendations that are as personalized as possible. 01:21.952 --> 01:26.620 Crucially, however, Netflix doesn’t just show us what we’re looking for. 01:26.620 --> 01:34.352 The algorithm helps determine what content comes to our attention and what we watch next. 01:34.352 --> 01:43.552 But what happens when a system is designed not only to capture our attention but also to manipulate on a massive scale? 01:43.552 --> 01:50.432 A lawsuit filed by the US state of Texas against Netflix shows exactly what the problem is. 01:50.432 --> 01:57.123 Texas accuses the company of deliberately using algorithms, autoplay, and the analysis of user data to keep 01:57.123 --> 02:01.156 people in front of the screen for as long as possible. 02:01.156 --> 02:08.656 This is particularly problematic for children and adolescents who are still developing and can be especially 02:08.656 --> 02:14.016 receptive to strong stimuli and recurring manipulative content. 02:14.016 --> 02:19.627 At the same time, algorithms help determine which films and series are suggested to them, 02:19.627 --> 02:23.520 even if they haven’t searched for them themselves. 02:23.520 --> 02:27.180 Constant Exposure to Extreme Violence 02:27.180 --> 02:32.099 One of Netflix’s most successful productions is the series “Squid Game.” 02:32.099 --> 02:37.823 In it, more than 450 people in debt compete against one other in children's games. 02:37.823 --> 02:42.410 Anyone who loses a game is shot or dies in some other way. 02:42.410 --> 02:49.639 What’s particularly problematic is that colorful playgrounds and a childlike atmosphere are mixed and linked with extremely 02:49.639 --> 02:56.990 graphic scenes of violence, and at the same time, “Squid Game” is well-known and popular among many young people. 02:56.990 --> 03:01.936 In total, the series comprises three seasons with 22 episodes. 03:01.936 --> 03:13.056 That amounts to nearly 22 hours in which viewers are repeatedly confronted with brutal violence, killings, and deadly games. 03:13.056 --> 03:18.792 Despite the fact that “Squid Game” is rated for ages 16 and up, it even reaches preschool and elementary 03:18.792 --> 03:23.963 school children, who imitate the games and, in some cases, the series’ theme of violence. 03:23.963 --> 03:32.930 Educators therefore strongly urge parents not to let children watch the series, neither alone nor with adults. 03:32.930 --> 03:37.636 Netflix releases a whole range of films and series of this kind. 03:37.636 --> 03:46.356 The series "Alice in Borderland," for example, depicts brutal and sometimes sadistic games over three seasons. 03:46.356 --> 03:54.650 Studies show that depictions of violence trigger anxiety, nightmares, and sleeping problems in children and adolescents. 03:54.650 --> 04:00.464 Of particular concern is that frequent consumption of violent content is linked to more 04:00.464 --> 04:05.356 aggressive behavior and a desensitization to violence. 04:05.356 --> 04:10.970 Recurring Focus On and Detailed Depiction of Suicide 04:10.970 --> 04:15.836 Netflix does not stop at merely focusing on this controversial topic. 04:15.836 --> 04:23.827 In the original version of “Dead Girls Don’t Lie” – known internationally as “13 Reasons Why” – the suicide of a 17-year-old 04:23.827 --> 04:32.376 character was depicted very directly and in great detail over several minutes, from the planning stage up to the act itself. 04:32.376 --> 04:37.736 Experts issued urgent warnings about the potential for copycat behavior among at-risk teenagers. 04:37.736 --> 04:44.203 Nevertheless, the series remained online. It was only after some time that the scene was edited. 04:44.203 --> 04:53.745 This is by no means an isolated case! The Netflix catalog includes other movies and series for teens and young adults, such 04:53.745 --> 05:01.581 as “My Suicide” (or “Archie’s Final Project”), “All the Bright Places” and “Not Alone”, which address 05:01.581 --> 05:07.120 suicide and suicidal thoughts, to name just a few examples. 05:07.120 --> 05:11.440 Dear viewers, this is about more than just single productions. 05:11.440 --> 05:18.177 The fundamental question is why such content is broadcast and what effect it can have, particularly on young 05:18.177 --> 05:22.556 people who are themselves facing difficult life situations. 05:22.556 --> 05:30.557 If young viewers identify with the characters portrayed and their problems and behavior, there is a risk that, in the worst-case 05:30.557 --> 05:35.156 scenario, they might view suicide as a possible way out. 05:35.156 --> 05:40.443 LGBTQ as a Gateway to Transsexuality and Pedophilia? 05:40.443 --> 05:46.016 One topic that is being addressed in more and more movies and series is LGBTQ. 05:46.016 --> 05:50.190 Netflix is one of the streaming platforms with a particularly large number of 05:50.190 --> 05:53.996 productions featuring LGBTQ themes and characters. 05:53.996 --> 05:59.236 Even content aimed at very young viewers is already addressing these topics. 05:59.236 --> 06:07.665 The GLAAD study explicitly names Netflix as the streaming service with the largest number of LGBTQ characters. 06:07.665 --> 06:15.044 Barack and Michelle Obama, through their production company Higher Ground, are also involved in several 06:15.044 --> 06:24.128 productions that address LGBTQ themes. About half of the content on Netflix Kids features LGBTQ representations. 06:24.128 --> 06:32.780 Netflix Kids is thus specifically aimed at children and adolescents—an age group in which, according to German 06:32.780 --> 06:38.773 psychotherapist Christa Meves, gender identity is affirmed. 06:38.773 --> 06:45.148 “This large-scale international program is intended to be more than just an ideological game; after all, why 06:45.148 --> 06:51.230 is it that ‘openness regarding gender identity’ is to be instilled already in the little ones? 06:51.230 --> 06:57.820 This indicates a strategy that suggests the initiators possess expertise in developmental psychology. 06:57.820 --> 07:02.839 For between the ages of 4 and 7, a mentally healthy child takes a significant 07:02.839 --> 07:07.680 developmental step: the affirmation of gender identity. ” 07:07.680 --> 07:16.060 In recent years, the number of minors and young adults who identify as transgender has risen sharply. 07:16.060 --> 07:24.783 At the same time, access to hormone blockers and gender-affirming surgeries for young people has become increasingly easy. 07:24.783 --> 07:34.004 Legislators are also in the process of shaping the legal framework in such a way that parents have little or no say in these 07:34.004 --> 07:39.424 matters and may even face criminal penalties for violations. 07:39.424 --> 07:45.668 At the same time, adolescents are making decisions about potential surgical gender reassignment, the 07:45.668 --> 07:52.083 implications and long-term consequences of which, due to their age, they are unable to assess. 07:52.083 --> 07:59.205 Companies and major investors willingly open their wallets, but not to help those affected. 07:59.205 --> 08:07.793 As reported in the Kla.TV broadcast “Total Brainwashing—How Our Children Are Being Indoctrinated,” the investment group 08:07.793 --> 08:16.410 “Capital Research Global Investors” invests both in Netflix and in companies that manufacture puberty blockers. 08:16.410 --> 08:23.696 These preparations are primarily used in adolescents to temporarily halt physical puberty. 08:23.696 --> 08:27.200 Are we seeing a diabolical business model here? 08:27.200 --> 08:30.909 Deliberate Sexualization of Children and Adolescents 08:30.909 --> 08:38.003 The film "Cuties" triggered an international shitstorm and calls for a boycott on #CancelNetflix. 08:38.003 --> 08:45.576 In 2020, US Senator Mike Lee addressed then-Netflix CEO Reed Hastings directly. 08:45.576 --> 08:51.809 The film is about 11-year-old girls who form a dance group and perform highly sexualized 08:51.809 --> 08:55.823 dance moves while wearing corresponding outfits. 08:55.823 --> 09:02.549 In particular, the staging and camerawork of these scenes drew fierce international criticism and sparked 09:02.549 --> 09:06.456 a broad debate about the sexualization of children. 09:06.456 --> 09:12.130 Netflix did not remove the film but significantly suppressed its visibility in search results. 09:12.130 --> 09:16.768 However, pedophiles still had the possibility to access it. 09:16.768 --> 09:21.060 Why pedophiles? Isn’t that a bit far-fetched? 09:21.060 --> 09:28.960 Research by the internet video creator known by the pseudonym Mouthy Buddha reveals explosive connections: 09:28.960 --> 09:36.906 The word "Cuties" is used by large pedophile networks as a basic term for young girls on the internet. 09:36.906 --> 09:42.638 Interestingly, the pedophile platform under investigation, “Cutie Garden”, had already been active 09:42.638 --> 09:46.326 for a year before the release of the film *Cuties*. 09:46.326 --> 09:54.260 The word “Cutie” refers to a person perceived as sweet, cute, or attractive. 09:54.260 --> 10:02.273 Given the name of the pedophile website and the search terms used there, you might ask the perfectly legitimate question: 10:02.273 --> 10:06.900 How did the film end up with a name like that? 10:06.900 --> 10:10.830 The Capital Behind the Rise of Netflix 10:10.830 --> 10:16.040 We’re all familiar with the American rags-to-riches story: 10:16.040 --> 10:23.336 With a good idea, courage, passion, and a lot of hard work, supposedly anyone can make it to the very top. 10:23.336 --> 10:29.563 This story is often told, especially when it comes to the founding of major U.S. corporations. 10:29.563 --> 10:33.664 But if you take a closer look, the myth quickly begins to crumble. 10:33.664 --> 10:41.934 Many U.S. tech companies received early support from wealthy investors and venture capital firms in the Silicon 10:41.934 --> 10:47.103 Valley environment, which significantly accelerated their rise. 10:47.103 --> 10:55.056 This puts Netflix in good company alongside companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, and YouTube. 10:55.056 --> 11:02.016 Over the decades, Silicon Valley has evolved into a tight-knit network of technology and capital. 11:02.016 --> 11:06.120 Major private investors played a key role in this development. 11:06.120 --> 11:11.808 One example is the Rockefeller family with its venture capital firm Venrock. 11:11.808 --> 11:17.824 Other venture capital firms and investors from abroad joined in. 11:17.824 --> 11:23.950 Capital also flowed into this technology sector from circles associated with the Rothschild family. 11:23.950 --> 11:31.468 For example, RIT Capital Partners – originally founded as Rothschild Investment Trust – invested in 11:31.468 --> 11:38.918 Thrive Capital as early as 2012 and has since participated in its large venture capital funds. 11:38.918 --> 11:42.833 Netflix also benefited from this financing system. 11:42.833 --> 11:49.504 In 1998, Institutional Venture Partners initially provided $6 million. 11:49.504 --> 11:57.840 In 1999, millions more followed, including from Technology Crossover Ventures and Foundation Capital. 11:57.840 --> 12:02.344 In 2000, another $50 million was added. 12:02.344 --> 12:09.882 Even before going public, Netflix had received a total of more than $100 million in financing. 12:09.882 --> 12:15.582 So it wasn’t a hard-fought rise—neither for Google nor Apple nor Netflix: 12:15.582 --> 12:22.463 From the very beginning, the growth of these companies was backed by financially strong investors and corporations. 12:22.463 --> 12:28.704 Their money was instrumental in making this development possible, but it also gave them influence. 12:28.704 --> 12:36.060 What does that look like today? Who is behind Netflix today and who actually owns the company? 12:36.060 --> 12:43.673 A look at Netflix’s largest shareholders reveals a pattern that we also see with many other major Hollywood film studios, 12:43.673 --> 12:47.820 such as Walt Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Paramount: 12:47.820 --> 12:54.200 Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street are consistently to be found among the largest shareholders. 12:54.200 --> 13:00.057 They are among the world’s largest asset managers and hold stakes in numerous other major media 13:00.057 --> 13:04.027 companies as well as pharmaceutical corporations. 13:04.027 --> 13:12.628 As Kla.TV has already uncovered in recent months and published on Vetopedia, we see well-known high-ranking Masonic families within 13:12.628 --> 13:17.286 the inner circle of BlackRock and Vanguard: members of the Rothschild and 13:17.286 --> 13:21.216 Rockefeller families. Behind the scenes, of course. 13:21.216 --> 13:25.922 Hidden behind asset managers and investment companies, they—along with their 13:25.922 --> 13:30.220 “helpers”—drive and shape the world’s negative developments. 13:30.220 --> 13:33.340 The Minds Behind Netflix 13:33.340 --> 13:37.926 But capital alone does not create a global corporation. 13:37.926 --> 13:45.083 Equally crucial are the people who are supported in their rise by the would-be elite and their networks—people 13:45.083 --> 13:49.010 who represent their interests and pursue their goals. 13:49.010 --> 13:55.264 Let's now turn to the two founders of Netflix: Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph. 13:55.264 --> 13:57.304 Wilmot Reed Hastings 13:57.304 --> 14:01.729 Wilmot Reed Hastings was born in Boston in 1960. 14:01.729 --> 14:07.190 His father was a lawyer who worked for the administration of Freemason Richard Nixon. 14:07.190 --> 14:12.903 In 1997, Hastings co-founded Netflix with Marc Randolph. 14:12.903 --> 14:16.550 Later he took on other influential positions. 14:16.550 --> 14:23.456 For several years, he served on the boards of directors of Microsoft and Facebook, now known as Meta. 14:23.456 --> 14:25.741 Marc Bernays Randolph 14:25.741 --> 14:34.422 Marc Bernays Randolph—known as Marc Randolph—was the company’s founder and CEO until 1999. 14:34.422 --> 14:41.243 His great-uncle Edward Bernays is considered one of the most important pioneers of modern propaganda. 14:41.243 --> 14:47.816 He showed how public opinion can be deliberately shaped and how people can be influenced in their decisions. 14:47.816 --> 14:54.376 His methods have been—and continue to be—used with great success by companies and governments 14:54.376 --> 14:58.356 to steer perceptions, opinions, and behavior. 14:58.356 --> 15:03.940 Edward Bernays, in turn, was the nephew of the Austrian physician and neurologist Sigmund Freud, 15:03.940 --> 15:07.536 who is considered the founder of psychoanalysis. 15:07.536 --> 15:11.584 At this point we'll summarize the key points: 15:11.584 --> 15:18.727 Netflix is no random product. A look at its founders and their family and professional connections reveals that 15:18.727 --> 15:23.520 the issue of manipulation has a remarkable history there. 15:23.520 --> 15:29.200 Netflix productions are designed to keep viewers in front of the screen for as long as possible. 15:29.200 --> 15:35.592 They contain highly manipulative content, detailed depictions of suicide, the sexualization 15:35.592 --> 15:40.544 of children and depictions of extreme violence. 15:40.544 --> 15:47.720 Children are exposed to LGBTQ content at an early age, which influences their personality development. 15:47.720 --> 15:53.836 The rising numbers of gender reassignment surgeries and gender identity disorders—driven in part by this 15:53.836 --> 15:57.620 exposure—play right into the hands of Netflix's investor group. 15:57.620 --> 16:03.419 That’s because the investor group Capital Research Global invests not only in Netflix but also 16:03.419 --> 16:07.303 in companies that manufacture puberty blockers. 16:07.303 --> 16:13.140 All of this is reason enough to ask: In whose interest is all of this happening? 16:13.140 --> 16:20.573 The Recurring Theme With hundreds of volunteers, Kla.TV has scrutinized the world's largest organizations 16:20.573 --> 16:25.463 across various industries and researched their backgrounds. 16:25.463 --> 16:31.656 From the pharmaceutical industry to the economy in general and on to the media. 16:31.656 --> 16:38.848 The results have been published for you free of charge at www.vetopedia.org. 16:38.848 --> 16:44.664 One group of people that kept cropping up during this research and appears to connect all 16:44.664 --> 16:48.600 the key players is high-degree Freemasonry. 16:48.600 --> 16:55.029 The following examples show why this group also plays a major role in connection with Netflix: 16:55.029 --> 16:56.466 BlackRock 16:56.466 --> 17:03.283 It is the world’s largest asset manager and holds stakes in numerous media and pharmaceutical companies. 17:03.283 --> 17:06.456 This gives the company considerable influence. 17:06.456 --> 17:11.023 BlackRock is one of Netflix’s largest shareholders. 17:11.023 --> 17:19.759 Founder Larry Fink is a member of the following ancient lodges: Amun Lodge, Compass Star-Rose/Rosa Stella 17:19.759 --> 17:28.216 Ventorum Lodge, Der Ring Lodge, Hathor Pentalpha Lodge, Pan-Europa Lodge, and Three Eyes Lodge. 17:28.216 --> 17:29.340 Vanguard 17:29.340 --> 17:31.836 The situation is similar with Vanguard. 17:31.836 --> 17:39.189 The world’s second-largest asset manager also holds significant stakes in numerous media and pharmaceutical 17:39.189 --> 17:44.050 companies and is likewise one of Netflix’s largest shareholders. 17:44.050 --> 17:50.553 Founder John Bogle was a high-degree Freemason and a member of the ancient Hathor Pentalpha 17:50.553 --> 17:54.743 Lodge, just like BlackRock founder Larry Fink. 17:54.743 --> 18:01.217 The father of Netflix founder Reed Hastings Jr., Reed Hastings Sr., was a lawyer and worked for 18:01.217 --> 18:04.740 the administration of Freemason Richard Nixon. 18:04.740 --> 18:11.651 Reed Hastings Sr.’s family connection to Freemasonry may have played an important role in the founding of 18:11.651 --> 18:18.270 Netflix by Reed Hastings Jr. and in the financial support it received from Silicon Valley. 18:18.270 --> 18:25.486 The situation may be similar with regard to the assuming of influential positions at Microsoft, Facebook, and Meta, 18:25.486 --> 18:30.190 as well as connections to Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. 18:30.190 --> 18:36.913 Microsoft founder Bill Gates is also a high-degree Freemason and was, among other things, in contact with 18:36.913 --> 18:40.336 the pedophile child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. 18:40.336 --> 18:49.961 Marc Zuckerberg—the founder of Facebook and Meta—was part of the World Economic Forum’s 2009 class of Young Global Leaders. 18:49.961 --> 18:55.700 The Young Global Leaders program was founded by Klaus Schwab, a high-degree Freemason. 18:55.700 --> 19:02.423 Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph’s family history includes a connection to the B’nai B’rith Lodge. 19:02.423 --> 19:09.712 His great-great-uncle, Sigmund Freud, was a member of the Vienna Society, , which was founded in 1895. 19:09.712 --> 19:15.266 In February 2004, the Paris Lodge was named after him. 19:15.266 --> 19:23.421 At the 22nd AZK, Ivo Sasek clearly explained which "club" these groups of people belong to, which ideals and values they 19:23.421 --> 19:29.605 represent, and that they deliberately orient themselves toward satanic and occult powers as 19:29.605 --> 19:33.996 guides, inspiration, and the source of their actions. 19:33.996 --> 19:42.036 Disguised under the cloak of philanthropists, these high-degree Freemasons use their financial resources to fuel wars, cause 19:42.036 --> 19:48.650 environmental disasters through weather manipulation, and ensure that the cornerstones and values of a 19:48.650 --> 19:53.017 stable and healthy society are mercilessly destroyed. 19:53.017 --> 19:57.546 For more information, we recommend watching the entire speech by Ivo Sasek. 19:57.546 --> 19:59.379 Final Conclusion 19:59.379 --> 20:08.078 ] If Netflix was indeed deliberately established and financed as a tool by people with these connections and background, then this 20:08.078 --> 20:14.503 would explain the manipulative content featuring extreme violence, suicide, the sexualization of 20:14.503 --> 20:21.820 children, and the attack on gender identity through LGBTQ content that we highlighted in this broadcast. 20:21.820 --> 20:29.436 With the obvious goal of creating a society that passively accepts extreme violence, the suicide of people like 20:29.436 --> 20:37.120 loved ones or close friends, and even pedophilia— and would even endorse these things in the worst case. 20:37.120 --> 20:45.317 To prevent this from happening, please help by sharing this broadcast with acquaintances, friends, and family members. 20:45.317 --> 20:53.584 Only when such connections become increasingly well known can these developments be prevented by informed people.
